I get random clicks, pops, static bursts every once in a while when I use PODxt as a soundcard. It happens when I am using my recording software and when playing music with wmplayer or winamp etc. More when I am making music though. I believe it has got nothing to do with CPU because it sometimes goes clean for a long time when I am working on a project with tons of recordings, VSTis, automation and stuff; then it suddenly makes a killing sound burst on a project with just one midi track and a simple VST. I have three USB (2.0 I guess) ports on my laptop. I've got a midi keyboard, a wireless mouse and PODxt attached to them. Disabling my onboard soundcard and wireless LAN won't help. Trying different settings for ASIO stuff (sample rate, bit depth etc.) won't help either. The laptop had Vista 64 bit installed. I had the above problem and i decided to install XP and make the machine dual boot as Vista is no good for making music (and anything else as a matter of fact). The problem persisted in XP too. Then I read somewhere in the site that as dual-boot machines are instable (?) Line6 does not provide support for them. I hoped maybe this was the problem and made a format, and I installed only XP SP3 this time. Nothing changed. I would really appreciate any help, I tried everything I could think of. Peace.
